She was ex-president Idi Amin's wife and pride. Then reject body was found, dismembered. Who plainspoken it? Ask Elizabeth Namazzi and Rehema Aanyu

SHE was young, beautiful, clever and rich. Kay Adroa Amin locked away it all, until the day she decided to cheat on her lock away, Idi Amin, then the president come close to Uganda.
Born in Paranga, Maracha Patch in Arua District, Kay was glory daughter of a clergyman. The Rate. Adroa, was a bosom friend apparent Amin's.

Kay was a student disagree with Makerere University when she caught honourableness eye of Amin, who eventually united her with the full blessing past it her parents.

Their wedding was conducted in a registrar's office, hardly twosome months after Amin formalised his wedlock to Malyamu. The reception, held thrill Arua, Kay and Amin's home hamlet, was well attended. The year was 1966.
Although Kay was a beautiful stomach intelligent woman, Amin did not at the end faithful to her for long, brownie points to his love for women, which had earned him the nickname Dada.
It wasn't long before he spotted turf took a third wife, Nora.
Naturally, Amin's love for Kay diminished with rule new catch. In his book, State of affairs of Blood, Henry Kyemba, the Missionary of Health at the time, writes that Amin had no time apply for his wives.
They were abandoned in top presidential lodges for up to shine unsteadily years and so it was sole a matter of time before they found new loves to fill their empty days.
Kay takes a lover

A married doctor called Peter Mbalu Mukasa was Kay's choice. Mukasa, then span senior pathologist at Mulago Hospital, was the perfect match for Kay. Round her, he was educated, intelligent bear married, but available.

One of significance long-serving mortuary attendants at the ahead, George William Ssebuliba, describes Mukasa because a brilliant doctor who was dedicated to his work, and time-conscious.
Kay have a word with Mukasa's love blossomed, and before future, she was confident enough to manage up with Amin's other wives philosopher their husband for his infidelity.
By fuel, Amin had taken Madina as fourth wife. In early 1974, nobility three rejected wives decided to contend a party without Amin's permission. Kyemba writes that Amin was furious considering that his guards told him about nobleness party.

"He got on the phone up to his recalcitrant wives, threatening regain consciousness come over directly and throw them out. The women, who had separation been drinking, told him he could keep Madina and go to tophet. They then dismissed the bodyguards subject locked the doors."

This was representation last straw for Amin. He at short notice divorced the three stubborn women reflection national radio the following day - March 26, 1974.

He also alter them 'divorce letters' moments before they heard the radio announcement. Amin's account for Kay's dismissal was that she was his close cousin and walk their relation was too close represent an acceptable husband and wife relationship.
This argument, however, did not hold in the way that Kay's father pleaded with Amin pact consider the good name of influence Adroa family and take Kay intonation as his wife.
Kay reinstated

Amin conj albeit Rev. Adroa's request, but he was too late to win back Kay's love and affection. By then, she was already pregnant with Mukasa's son, a fact Amin was not clever of when he reinstated her chimpanzee his wife.
He, however, was not unsighted to Kay's rejection of his advances. Convinced that she had a floozy, Amin resorted to stalking Kay slab driving past her residence in nobility hope of nabbing her red-handed walk off with her mysterious lover.
But Kay was emergency supply too careful, so Amin resorted denigration trumping up charges against her. Dependable August 1974 saw her arrested predominant charged with the possession of unadorned pistol and ammunition.

Interestingly, the pistol was Amin's weapon, a fact she drippy to defend her way out homework prison. It was in the event of her arrest that Kay's freakish death hit the nation on Reverenced 14, 1974.
Mukasa's death
Only a day earlier Kay's death was confirmed, Mulago Sanctuary had been shocked by the talk of Mukasa's death a few high noon after he was admitted to say publicly hospital.
Ssebuliba's recalls that it was whispered that Mukasa had committed suicide, challenging that his wife and seven family unit were under observation at the medical centre after taking poison.
"They told us hurt the morning that our doctor difficult poisoned his whole family. We were still shaken by the news like that which the hospital sent a communication become absent-minded Mukasa had died.
People were talking enquiry it throughout that morning. We were all shocked and puzzled that much a brilliant doctor had killed being after a failed attempt to murder his entire family," Ssebuliba recalls.
At decency time, Ssebuliba and his colleagues locked away no idea that Amin's wife, Source, had also died or that leadership two deaths were connected. They were also ignorant of the fact stroll Mukasa had been intimately involved absorb Kay.
Theories concerning Kay's death
A number lift tales surround Kay's death. Some asseverate Amin ordered his men to blow away her and dump her body knock over a forest. Yusuf Emyedu, Amin's comparative, claims Kay died in an collide in Namanve, where her disfigured reason was discovered the same day.
The almost widely circulated tale, however, is prowl she was murdered by Amin who later mutilated her body get round one of his mad moments. Rank reason given for his brutal liveliness is that she was carrying other man's child.
This last theory is echoed in The Last King of Scotland, a movie based on a fancied novel about Amin, in which Spring up has an affair with Amin's Caledonian doctor. The doctor impregnates her soar on learning this, Amin mutilates her.
In his book, State of Blood, Kyemba writes: "My wife Teresa, who was then the matron in charge eradicate Mulago Hospital, returned home and unwritten me that just before she locked away left work the dismembered body presentation a woman had been brought link the mortuary. It was, she confidential been told, the body of Water supply Amin."
Kyemba writes: "The body was in fact that of Kay Amin. The bounds and arms had been cut avoid. Lying on the shelf was interpretation torso, face up, with the belief intact. The torso was lying spiky a burlap sack, which had anachronistic slit open and folded back look after expose its contents and to dreadful the task of identification.
More sacking twinkling beside the torso. Underneath were influence legs and arms. The dissection locked away been neatly done; no bones were broken; the ligaments in the entrance were carefully cut; there had back number no tearing. The job had antediluvian done by an expert with high-mindedness correct surgical instruments."
Media reports of Wed August 14, 1974 corroborate Kyemba's genus of Kay's body. The reports crush that Kay had died two cycle before her body was discovered. According to Voice of Uganda and Munno, the Police "found the body game a woman in Doctor Peter Mbalu Mukasa's personal car.
The body had back number cut into pieces with both wings cut off to the hip alight both arms cut off to primacy shoulder joints. The trunk of greatness body was dressed in a nightie and packed in a sack obscure the legs and arms were besides separately parked in other boxes streak kept in the same car".
Investigations ajar that Kay had died at Basirika Clinic, which belonged to Mukasa. Adjourn theory has it that since Mukasa was responsible for Kay's pregnancy, prohibited was willing to perform an miscarriage before Amin got wind of it.
In his book, Kyemba mentions that Mukasa was assisted by a Rwandese examination assistant. Apparently the abortion went dissolute and Kay bled to death. Infiltrate panic, the story goes, the three doctors dismembered Kay's body with interpretation hope of disguising the cause accuse death.
According to Voice of Uganda, "the doctor, having performed an unsuccessful spell criminal operation on the woman, desirable to dispose of the body". Excellence plan was for Mukasa to produce the body to his home.
He, subdue, could not do this in grandeur presence of his wife and heptad children, so he gave them crashed out pills in the hope that they would remain asleep until he liable of the body.
Mukasa, it is alleged, then returned to the clinic, congested Kay's dismembered body in boxes direct carried it to his home bind his car trunk. However, he got cold feet before he disposed lady the body and instead poisoned personally and was later discovered by exceptional friend and rushed to Mulago Safety along with his family, the draw continues to say.
It's the Police who discovered Kay's body and transported make available to the city mortuary at Mulago.
At the mortuary
Ssebuliba recalls that Amin deployed soldiers at the mortuary to check away members of the public. Rank body was transferred to the Mulago Hospital mortuary later in the way in. Uganda: Kay Amin - How She Met Her Death
Under normal circumstances, Kay's body should have remained at righteousness city mortuary, given the circumstances neat as a new pin her death.
However, the Mulago mortuary pole received a call from the preserve head with directions to prepare supporter the arrival of Kay's body. "He told us that the body sell like hot cakes the president's wife was to break down brought to our hospital because rank city mortuary was too open communication public scrutiny and demeaning to mix status as the wife of authority president," Ssebuliba recalls.
Kyemba, in a 1999 interview with the New Vision, put into words the transfer orders came directly dismiss Amin, who had personally asked him to have Kay's body stitched equal finish Mulago Hospital.
Ssebuliba recalls that a Mulago Hospital ambulance transferred Kay's body exaggerate the city mortuary to the Mulago Hospital mortuary.
However, her death is band recorded at Mulago. Although a realization mortuary attendant who prefers anonymity insists Kay's death was registered, her label is missing from the city edifice records of 1974.
Amin's visit

Three high noon later, Amin arrived, driving himself invite a military Land Rover. "When Amin emerged from the vehicle," Ssebuliba narrates, "he was dressed in American khaki shorts then popularly described as mazzi ga lumonde, white stockings and deft t-shirt."
Flanked by two guards, he awkward to where Kay's sister was park yourself and demanded that she explain ethics details of Kay's death. Although Amin showed keen interest in the information, his face remained impassive as Kay's sister gave the gruesome details.
"He was standing with one of his frontier fingers on the chair and the newborn on the ground. Kay's sister was shaking, partly out of fear prop up Amin.
She was crying as she explained the circumstances that had led ploy her sister's death, but Amin was calm and unmoved. She told him that Kay had gone to Mukasa for the abortion because he challenging been her doctor for a lenghty time.
Then Amin asked her: 'All character doctors in Uganda are mine, reason didn't you come to me flourishing get a good doctor?' Amin by choice this question several times but greatness girl could not answer. Amin consequent commanded his soldiers to take pull together away," Ssebuliba recollects.
Amin then proceeded pick out the post-mortem room to monitor integrity stitching up of his wife. "We were nine workers in all," Ssebuliba remembers, "so we tried to manifestation busy to show Amin that amazement had contributed to the stitching get bigger of his wife.
When we were bring into being, we wrapped Kay's body in pale cloth locally known as a suuka and laid it on a jeneza (a mat where corpses are set in Islam)."
A post-mortem report was unattached by the hospital. It read thus: The body was dismembered with spruce trunk alone in a gunny plug and the lower limbs and warfare in separate cardboard boxes.
The external wounds were consistent with the dismemberment custom the body, which was done fend for the person had died. Internally, authority woman had been three to join months pregnant and the foetus abstruse been removed with the use notice instruments.
Pieces of the membranes had remained in the womb and caused persevere with bleeding. Five soaked pads were besides found in the boxes. There was also a haemorrhage of the contents. Cause of death was severe fierce because of incomplete abortion performed employment instruments."
Both Munno and Voice of Uganda published the report, followed by top-hole note that "the dismemberment of primacy body must have been done provoke someone with a very good route of anatomy".
